Part of The Fae Chronicles
First published 2020
War has reached Faery, and the realm is not ready. The protagonist believed she and her allies had prepared for every threat. She was wrong. When the enemy closes in, Destiny intervenes, reshaping her into something she never chose to be. She does not get to decide who she becomes. Faery decides for her. Now she stands at the center of the final battle, carrying the weight of lies told to her and betrayals she did not see coming. The man she loves is tangled in all of it. She has to decide whether she can forgive what happened and move forward, or whether the pain runs too deep for that. The stakes are not abstract. If she cannot find a way through the anger, she may tear the realm apart to bring him to his knees. Saving Faery might require her to become exactly the kind of monster her enemies always said she was. The question driving everything is whether love survives when two people are forced to be their worst selves in order to survive at all.
